Coleen Nolan introduces new boyfriend she met on Tinder
They've already discussed marriage ❤️
Loose Women star Coleen Nolan hasn't been shy in revealing how happy she is with her love life right now, thanks to her new boyfriend, but up until now, 56-year-old Coleen has been pretty coy about his identity.
Coleen has been single since she split from her ex-husband Ray Fensome in 2018, and even admitted she may be done with men for good following the breakdown of her marriage.
But a few years on, Coleen appears to be smitten with her new boyfriend Michael Jones, after meeting him on dating app Tinder seven months ago.
Posing together for a cute photo during an interview with OK! Magazine, Coleen and Michael look more loved-up than ever, as Coleen even hinted marriage could be on the cards.
Speaking about the moment she knew she 'liked' Michael when coming home from their first date, Coleen said: "I knew I really liked him. The kids had been texting me saying, 'Are you still alive?' So when I got back I told them, 'I really, really like him'."
She added: "I’ll be sitting there in my pyjamas with no make-up on, swollen eyes and a cold sore and he still looks at me like I’m the best thing since sliced bread.
"Normally I’d be thinking, 'I need to put make-up on or he won’t fancy me or love me!' And Michael’s come along and he just looks at me like I’ve never been looked at before."
Michael, who works in logistics for a supermarket chain, also spoke about the moment he first set eyes on Coleen on the dating app. He told the publication: "It was a bit of a dilemma. You think, 'Am I just swiping because I recognise her?' So I had to think about it and do it for the right reasons – not even for one minute thinking she’d reply anyway. The surprising thing for me was that once I’d swiped we were a match straight away, which meant that she’d already liked me."
Coleen is a mum to three children, 33-year-old Shane Jr and 29-year-old Jake, who she shares with her first husband Shane Richie, and 20-year-old Ciara, who she shares with ex-husband Ray Fensome.
Meanwhile, Michael is a dad to his 20-year-old son Nico, from a past marriage.
Whilst both Coleen and Michael have met each other's children, Coleen has revealed her daughter Ciara had some worries in the early stages of her new relationship.
She said: "Ciara sat us both down and got it all off her chest! She felt a bit left out. She said, 'Every time I see you it’s Michael this and Michael that!' She was a bit jealous. She missed having time with her mum."
